9. Use a 1 3/8” or 1 ½” hole saw to drill a hole in the plastic tray in front of
the battery and install the grommet. (Photo 9)
10. Remove the lower radiator hose at the radiator (driver side) and drain the
coolant. Cut the hose 2”from the bend and install the tee. Route a piece
of hose from the tee up thru the grommet (lube the grommet) to the filler
on the upper heater core outlet. Use a piece of the spring to prevent
kinking. Refasten the radiator hose and secure all connections with hose
clamps. (Photos 9 & 10)
11. Note: Retain all parts for reinstallation.
Remove the thermostat
housing from the engine block. Install the adaptor, gaskets, thermostat
and housing as shown in diagram “A” using the longer bolts supplied.
(Photo 11)
12. Route a piece of hose from the adaptor down under the floor following
the coolant hose on the driver side and up thru opening between the
battery and terminal block to the valve on the lower portion of the heater
core outlet. Secure the hose away from all moving parts with wire ties
and tighten the hose clamps. (Photos 9 & 11)
13. Connect the negative (black) and the positive (red) wires to the terminal
strip beside the battery (the top lug supplies key on power). Route the
switch wires to thru the cutout and connect to the switch (Photo 13, back
of switch) press the switch in place. (Photo 14)
14. Install the control cable thru the instrument panel and secure the nut.
Route the cable under the dash support cross member and between the
battery and heater. Make a loop in the control cable (allows the
instrument panel to be removed). With the valve in the “off” position
and the control knob pushed “in” place the control cable clamp on the
valve and tighten the clamp. (Photos 12 & 14)
15. Reinstall the instrument panel.
16. With all the hose clamps tight and the heater valve “open” remove the
radiator cap and the filler/bleeder cap. Fill the radiator with coolant and
replace the cap. Slowly fill the system thru the filler / bleeder to allow
air to exit. Replace the filler cap
. CAUTION!!!! Coolant level is now
above the radiator cap. Never open the radiator cap. Fill the system
only thru the filler / bleeder and over flow reservoir. This information
must be passed on to the customer and or vehicle owner.
17. Start and run the vehicle for 2 minutes. With the engine off open the
filler / bleeder and add coolant as needed. Repeat until coolant level
remains full. CHECK FOR LEAKS
